If Fromm is our guy, we'll be looking for a new guy two years from now.

I copied and pasted that info from the AAF website, because I saw penalties on the defense for illegal formation.
I'm guess limiting pass rushers is a safety concern, and it also is part of the development goal of the league. However, even with limited pass rushers, the offensive lines need to step up, because there were a lot of hurries and a few sacks...especially the hit on the San Diego QB...he got plastered!
According to Bill Polian the rule is in place because the teams have only been practicing for a little over a month. He said the offensive lines wouldn't be able to handle exotic blitzes and pick them up effectively at this point in their development, therefore rendering the passing game mostly ineffective. It will be interesting to see if they keep the rule in year 2.

I did not watch any of it but heard some like this league. How did Trent Richardson look?
He reminded me of the Trent of old...If you needed 2 yards, Trent would get you 3. If you needed 5 yards, Trent would still get you 3.

I don't know if anyone has touched on it yet, but the players being mic'd up provided rare insight. Memphis was the only team that got shut out and Hackenberg and Singletary weren't familiar with all of the rules. I hope the league sticks, the viewership numbers were great week one and the football quality was surprisingly good. It's much better than watching an NBA game or two unranked college basketball teams on a weekend night.

I think PFF provides value. I also understand people who are critical of it. The only problem I've ever had with it is when writers, and Nate Dunlevy was one in particular, who used it as crutch or a smoke screen to hide their lack of knowledge. It's a tool to help analyze the grey area that isn't measured in the stat sheet, not the end all be all.

It was always cracks me up when the draft pundits try to say, "It's bad value to draft x position this high in the draft." If you get the opportunity at sure-fire pick who is going to solidify that position for the next 10-15 years then why not use the draft pick? Nelson has done for the Colts offensive line what Martin did for the Cowboys. I don't think the Colts are a good football team yet, but man it's hard not to get excited about the future when you see glimpses of what's to come each week.

This feels weird to say, but the New England Patriots are a broke football team right now. Maybe when they get Julian Edelman back that will solve some problems, but right now they just look flat out awful. Sony Michel has been a complete non factor.

I love this offense. It's head and shoulders better than what we had under Pagano. I love the way they scheme guys open.
I thought the late TD to Hilton was brilliant.

To play devil's advocate here, for the majority of Luck's night he was surrounded by Clark, Michael and WR's wearing single digit numbers. RG3 had better WR's in the 4th QTR then Luck did in the 1st. I would take Breshad Perriman over any of the guys Luck started with. Wasn't a great showing, but there is a real possibility a lot of the guys he played with tonight will be looking for work in two weeks.

If you won't advocate betting, then I will. It's a smart way to make money if you can exploit the system. Find suspicious betting lines and bet on them, find the stories in sports as they give them away and bet them to death when you learn who is getting advocated to win a major sports championship (9-11 Pats, Hurricane Katrina Saints, Ray Lewis Retiring Ravens, Manning retiring Broncos, Cubs ending the curse, Hurricane Irma Astros, etc...). The answer lies in front of you, you just have to solve the riddle.
Saint's didn't win the Super Bowl until a couple seasons after Katrina bud. Also, are you advocating that since a terrorist attack happened in New York that the NFL decided to rig it for that city's biggest rival? If you "pick" games on a weekly basis I'd be more than happy to post them here every week, your picks versus mine and see how it shakes it. You show me someone who brags about their gambling prowess, I'll show you a loser.

It was Justin Tryon that I couldn't remember.

One that always sticks out to me is Josh Chapman. There was also a cornerback who I believe we traded for from the New York Giants that started for one season but I can't remember his name now. It was late in the Polian era.

One kid I really like that is still available is Richie James. He's a wide receiver from Mid Tenn St. I've watched a majority of the games that he has played over the last two years. He was smooth going through his drills at the combine too. James isn't the biggest WR out there but he is incredibly productive and he is a phenomenal athlete. I'm not saying that he is the next Antonio Brown by any means but if you watch him play you can see that they're from the same type of mold.

No we did not. We drafted 3 starters...one will be 27 years old when season starts. We drafted 2 part time DE's. Still no 2nd CB, still no 2nd WR. I give this draft a C-.. Hate this draft period.
So what you're saying is....
Your analysis based on reading blogs/mock drafts/maybe watching one game a week > Scouts who watch film, evaluate players year round and actually know what they're looking at.
Yeah, right. Hard to deem an opinion on a player credible or insightful when you miss his age by 5 years. We won't know anything until this guys get on the field, this team needs NFL talent up and down the roster, whether that talent is on the field for the first play of every game or not is irrelevant.

He’s rarely even talked about going in the first round. If I were a team picking mid to late 1st round I would feel much more comfortable taking Rudolph or Luke Faulk instead of trading up into the top 10
If Luke Faulk has a long NFL career I'll be shocked. The kid was too inconsistent last season and I don't think he has elite arm strength. If a coach drafts him in the first round they're signing their own pink slip.
-
The narrative seems to be that Blake Bortles played well today. No he didn't. He just didn't play bad. If I'm Jacksonville this game solidifies my desires to find a new QB for next season. He's not a guy you can win big games with. On another note, has a team ever had an easier path than the Patriots have this season?
-
Baylor football is an absolute dumpster fire. Even with all the issues that they had, there's no excuse for a team like Baylor to lose at home to teams like UT-San Antonio or Liberty. If Rhule is the next head coach my days as a season ticket holder are over.
-
More like "Super Mediocre Staff" amirite?!
A guy who hasn't been the strength and conditioning coach on a staff in a 17 years...
A twice failed offensive coordinator
A third year defensive coordinator whose unit's all got consistently worse year after year
And a head coach who is 11-17 and couldn't last two full seasons in his only gig...
Yeah, that's exactly what this team needs!!

The whole Brad Kaaya thing throws me off too...unless Ballard knows Lucks done??? Which I don’t think to be true...is guess chances are pretty large that Jacoby is the backup next year
Brad Kaaya is a high ceiling QB prospect who left school too early. If Luck comes back healthy then Brissett may have trade value. Either way, there is little downside to signing a once highly touted QB prospect who has practice squad eligibility. Especially when you consider that Indianapolis paid Scott Tolzien to take up a roster spot for the whole season.

How would the NFL ever replace him?

No, and you're right. Pretty irresponsible to bring in a "franchise QB" under the leadership of two guys who had no experience at their respective positions and, as it turns out, have no business being n those positions. Unfortunately, Mr. Luck was TOO good too soon for Irsay to notice. And those decisions will set this team back until at least 2020 IMHO.
Unfortunately I think your prediction is spot on, unless this season turns into a nightmare reminiscent of 2011 and the Colts end up with a top 5 pick, which they're able to trade to a QB needy team for a boatload of picks...That could jump start the process. I still to this day can't believe Irsay green lighted the spending spree Grigson went on for former Eagles and Andre Johnson. It's still unfathomable that a man in that position could spend that much money and have absolutely nothing to show for it. Trent Cole, man. Even I knew that was going to be a terrible signing from the get go. Don't get me started on Todd Herremans.
-
Does anyone think Pagano gets a job as a HC in the league again if he gets fired here? Grigson will most assuredly never have his own team again. Pretty telling if, at a time when he could have hired anyone in the league, Irsay hired two unknowns who never even landed similar positions again, no?
-
Has anybody here actually watched Delvin Breaux play? He gets exposed on a weekly basis. He had a horrendous first year in the NFL. He was a cheap starter for a team that couldn't have afforded better if they wanted to. (Saints were in one of the worst cap situations of all time when they signed him.) If he's on a cheap deal and being shopped by New Orleans, that's a huge red flag. Would be ironic if he joined the Colts though, because I've always kind of thought of him as the second coming of Jason David.

100% correct. Spot on. There’s a lot of people in this fan base who need to admit Ballard is mediocre and overly-conservative. Scared money don’t make no money.
